According to the agency, one of those detained was arrested at Roissy Airport as he tried to leave the country.
“I strongly condemn the premature disclosure of this information by informed individuals without regard to the needs of the investigation. Such actions can only hinder the work of about a hundred investigators who are pursuing the stolen jewels and those involved in the crime”
– Laura Bekuo, Paris Prosecutor
Current status of detention and the progress of the investigation
Details about the detainees and the progress of the investigation are not being disclosed at this time. The prosecutor’s office noted that new information will be released after the end of the suspects’ detention period.
The French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez welcomed the detention of the suspects and thanked the investigators for their work.
“The investigation must continue with due regard to investigative secrecy under the leadership of the Paris Interregional Specialized Public Prosecutor’s Office”
– Laurent Nuñez, French Minister of the Interior
